I. The arrest OF Judge d. C. Birdsall, Of Hartford
On charges OF embezzlement and forgery, Will
cause some cOmmotion in political circles In New
York and New England 1t was he who, as a
staunch friend OF the late Samuel j. Tilden, was
selected by the latters advisers to prepare an
answer to published attack upon Mr.. Tilden by
John MckeOn in 1874. Six years later he became
an anti-Tilden democrat and In 1888 gave to the
public, through newspaper interview, the
statement that Mr.. Tfden eXerted himself in per-
son TO prevent General HancOck'S election to the
Presidency. This brought about bitter private
quarrel between the judge and Charles A. Dana, in
which examinations and recrimlnatiOnS were
banded between the contestants with startling
freedom Another quarrel OF BirdSall'S Of more
recent date was with Governor Waller, OF COnnec-
ticut, ending in the publication OF their secret
political correspondence. As editor Of the Hart
ford Telegram, Blrdsall has contrived TO keep in
hot water a good deal OF the time. Birdsall is
hard tighter, and he is likely to give the prOsecu-
ting authorities some trouble particularly II there
Is ground for supposing that the present proceed
'1ngs against him were tnstigated by any of his
business or political enemies.

There Is one feature of the amendments to the
civil service rules to be tested next week In the
War Department which nils many of the govern
nrent clerks with alarm, and also arouses some
suspicion. AS matters now stand the clerks who
do not aspire to promotion pass no examinations
and are entitled TO hold their offices as long as
their duties are efficiently performed Under the
amendments all persons In the class imme-
diately below the class In which promo
ttions are TO be made must be exam
1ned for promotion, and If they fail to
make % per cent. are not merely ineligible to pro-
motion, but expose themselves TO q second exaIni-
nation, failure In which Is punished by a reduc-
ton In grade or dismissal The amendments
therefore do not merely relate to promotions but
make ability to attain 20 per cent. In competf-
tive examinations condition OF holding of1ice at
all, to those already employed as well as to those
seeking employment. stability OF tenure OF ONCE
as long as It's duties are faithfully performed is
sacrificed TO the rage for competitive examinations
When the applicant for Office Is new and inexperi-
enced the mental gymnastics OF these competitive
examinations probably furnishes as good an indi-
cation as can be had OF his adaptability to a new
work. But when he has been found worthy Of
Office AMI especially If he has by years OF employ
ment In particular branch gained experience
which makes his service especially valuable, his
time should be given to those duties and not to
preparation for competitive examinations. 1t will
De enough 10 render aim ineligible TO promotion Ii
he cannot gain certain percentage in the mis-
cellaneous questioning of an examination; If he
is efficient and protected in his place
by the ctv1l-service rules, he should
mot be exposed TO dismissal as q
penalty OF failure to answer conundrums not con-
nected with his work. The head of the bureau
can In these examinations by bis arbitrary mark
1ngs on efficiency exercise nearly as much discre-
itIon In the matter OF promotions as under the
present system, and the main effect OF this feature
of the amendment is TO place every clerk now In
ONCE old and young, experienced and tnexper-
fenced In danger OF dismissal not for any ineciency
In the performance of his duties but for failure to
respond satisfactorily to a miscellaneous ques-
tioning.

The proposition to enlarge the title OF Victoria,

The most important work in the
measurement of clouds is now done at the
university Of Upsala, Sweden, by Messrs.
Ekholm and Hagstrom. When oppor-
tunity offers the heights Of clouds are de-
termined thrice daily by simultaneous OBJ
servations at two telephonically connected
stations about mile apart. The angles
OF conspicuous points are carefully noted
bymeans Of specially adapted instruments,
giving much more satisfactory data for
fixing the distances than have been OBJ
tanned by the Photographic method at
tempted at Kew. The greatest height of
any cloud yet measured is Al, 500 feet, and
the highest velocity is 112 miles an hour
for cloud at Is, eco feet. The most i'm.
portant result thus far reached from these
measurements is the fact that clouds are
quite regularly distributed in three layers,
the mean summer levels for Upsala being:
low clouds-stratus, cumulus, cumuIo-
nimbus, 2,OO0-0, 600 feet; middle clouds
strato cirrus, 12,000-15,OOO feet; high
clOuds-cirrus, cirro-stratus, cirro-cumu-
lus, 20,00O-2z000 feet. -Arkansaw

The relations between employer and
employees on sugar estate are unique.
They are the nearest approach in America
to feudal system. Not q foot of land do
the laborers own. Yet their right to homes
and labor on an estate is a sort of unwrit-
ten law, so binding that they are seldom
sent away except for very serious cause.
They regard the mules and implements of
the planter as to some extent their own,
using them to cultivate their gardens and
to haul their fuel In directing the plan
tation work, he seldom uses any harsh
words Of command; talks rather in kindly
tones, scolds a little if needs be, but in
rather a parental fashion; asks opinions
at times from swarthy old 'uncles'' who
have standing on the place as faithful
men and experts in cane culture; knows
the strong and weak points in the charac-
ter of every man in his employment. In
deed his rule is so mild that a stranger to
plantation life wonders how the uncouth
mass Of black laborers is held together
and disciplined so as to produce favorable
industrial results.-E. V. Smalley in The
Century
